PAL GS400 equally good? at DVinfo.net

Hi all,

I've been looking at various camera models, and the GS400 looks like the one for me.

Just checking- is the PAL model as good as the NTSC one? I ask this because I recall that certain models that are great in NTSC have certain disadvantages in PAL. (e.g, a Canon Optura model had a high-resolution 16:9 mode on the NTSC model, but the PAL version only had a "16:9 stretch"-type mode.)

Cheers,

-Bon

Bon,
The PAL and NTSC models are the same except for the TV standards differences. The videos my friends from Oz and Europe post look very good indeed.
